Woopie Ring Toss is a classic skill game that brings laughter and friendly competition home. The set has a colourful post and 12 rings in three sizes.

This ring toss game is loved by children and adults alike. The aim is to throw the rings onto the post. Three ring sizes – about 11.5, 13 and 14.5 cm across – let you change the difficulty. The post is made of six colourful segments with a ball on top and a red base, about 33.5 cm tall in total. It assembles and comes apart quickly and is made of durable materials. Designed for children aged 3 and up, for play at home, in the garden, on a picnic or at the beach.

What your child develops

• Hand-eye coordination. Children learn to judge distance and throwing strength.
• Accuracy. Each ring has to land right on the post.
• Focus and patience. Every throw needs a moment of thought.
• Social skills. Playing together teaches waiting for your turn.
• Motor skills. Throwing gets the arms and whole body moving.

How to play

Set up the post and mark a throwing line – closer for little ones, further for older players. Each player throws four rings and scores a point for each one that lands. Large rings are easier, so smaller ones can score more.

The rings are great for learning colours too: call out a colour and your child has to land a ring of that colour.
